With the season just 2 weeks away let's have our annual bit of fun... there are 10 predictions for you to ponder and have a stab at ahead of the new season based on the questions below.
We can then bring this back up at the end of the season and laugh at how wrong we all were! I'll also tally up and see who got the most correct answers (or closest answers) once the season is over! 5 points for each correct prediction.

PLACE YOUR BETS RESULTS 2022/23
It is that time of year again to look back and laugh about how wrong we were
Let's see who actually got something correct... 5 points for each correct answer...
1) How many goals will Lyndon Dykes score this season? 8
Rosco Bosco was the only player to get 8
2) Who will make the most appearances for QPR this season? Seny Dieng/Sam Field (48)
Everybody apart from NoahHoop (Paal) and stoatey/kensalr (Dickie) had Seny Dieng
3) Who will be the QPR player of the year? Sam Field
MCM Hoop and davman had a great pick here getting Field - and jrperry gave him a mention too. The majority went for Chris Willock or Ilias Chair. LurkR went for Tyler Roberts. Ouch.
4) What position will QPR finish in? 20th
Nobody went for 20th but jrperry was again close predicting 18th - most of us went top half.
5) Who will win: .....A) The Premier League? Manchester City .....B) The Championship? Burnley
ashqpr went for Chelsea and couldn't have been much wider of the mark for how their season panned out! The only other player not going for Man City was kingfisher (Liverpool)
Only NoahHoop and kensalr had Burnley - the most popular pick by far was Norwich who ended up in the bottom half!
6) Which 3 teams will get relegated from the Championship? Wigan, Blackpool, Reading
Nobody had all 3 because Blackpool were the team we almost all overlooked for the drop - only jrperry1882 picked them to go down
The worst picks were SydneyR who had both Sunderland AND Luton who both ended up in the top 6 whilst kingfisher picked Coventry!
Rotherham and Birmingham were the most popular picks who avoided the drop
7) How many clean sheets will QPR keep this season (league only)? 9
Only singlespeed and ranger-boy went for 9
8) Which QPR player will pick up the most bookings? Sam Field
davman, jrperry1882, kensalr, myself, Ghost, LurkR, Rosco Bosco, MCM Hoop, Jalfrezi Rs and ranger-boy all had Sam Field
9) The Sack Race... Which team will sack their manager first from: .....A) The Premier League? Bournemouth .....B) The Championship? Stoke
singlespeed and davman had Bournemouth whilst only jimjams had Stoke
10) How many cup matches will QPR win (League Cup and FA Cup combined)? Zero - 0
Nobody predicted that we'd be knocked out in the opening round of both cups!
davman and MCM Hoop were tied at the top on 30 points so I've used QPR's finishing position as a tie-breaker with players losing points for how far out they were and that makes davman our winner for 2022/23!
Thanks to all of you who took part, it is always good fun looking back at this type of thing! We'll do it all over again once the new season approaches!
